What is maxillofacial surgery and how long does it take to recover from it?

---

My niece, who is presently in Birmingham, AL, had to undergo a maxillofacial surgery of her left jaw bone which had been fractured and dislocated in an accident. She has been told that some titanium implant or screws have been used to fix her bone. It is almost one month since the operation was done, but she still has a stffnes in her face and finds it difficult to eat.
I'm sorry she's still suffering. I can't help that, but here's some information on the surgery with tons of external links:

Does anyone know the difference between a neuromuscular dentistry and oral & maxillofacial surgery?

---

Personally I don't find my dental bite cosmetically appealing. I've had braces before and my teeth are pretty straight, but my bite can use some improvement. It seems like a slight overbite to me. However, I don't know what specialist I should go to. Would neuromuscular dentistry be the solution to my problem or oral & maxillofacial surgery? If you would like to see pictures, let me know.
yes, you need to go to an orthodontist to correct your bit.  (+ info)

What are the risk of high abnormalities and pregnancy?

---

Im 19 and i hav a pap smear done a couple months ago which came back posible high abnormalities. Im booked for a calapsy in august.
I was wondering what are the risk of having high abnormalities during pregancy.
There will be no risk if you go and get this problem sorted out. You shouldn't be thinking about pregnancy at 19 though. I can't imagine why if your pap came back normal it took them a few months to book you for a colposcopy. They booked mine with in a few days. they went in, did their biopsies and stuff and nothing was wrong. I've had 3 children with no abnormalities.  (+ info)

What are the odds to having a down syndrome baby with 2 ultrasound abnormalities?

---

I went in for my ultrasound at 19 wks and found out the baby has echoing in the heart ventricles and a cyst at base of brain. Individually, they would not be concerned, but because 2 abnormalities are present I need to go in for a level 2 ultrasound. What are my odds for having a down syndrome baby at 30 with these abnormalities being present?
I am 34 and had 2 abnormalities on my son's ultrasound. He had an echogenci foci (white spot on the heart) and a dilated kidney. He is a perfect 3 month old. 2 abnormalities is not unusual at all. Try not to worry. I know that's hard because I've been there.  (+ info)

want to understand the link between chromosomal abnormalities in parents and recurrent miscarriages?

---

I learn that one of the reasons for recurrent miscarriage of a pregnancy is the chromsomal abnormalities found in atleast one parent. I have the following questions:
1. Does this problem always result in a miscarriage or are there chances of delivering a live baby ?
2. If it results in a child-birth, are there chances of the baby born with abnormalities ?
3. Is this problem curable/treatable ?
1. The problem does not always end in a miscarriage. Most chrom abnormalities that result in a miscarriage happen before 6 weeks of pregnancy.

2. 1 out of 150 babies is born with a chromosomal abnormality. These types of abnormalities occur when the structure of a chromosome is damaged or the number of chromosomes is off (extra or too few).

3. Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Patau's syndrome (trisomy 13), and Edward's syndrome (trisomy 18) are common chromosomal abnormalites. Prenatal testing, like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, can be done before the birth and I have heard that they can now go in and remove the extra chromosomes or fix them which would fix the abnormality but most of them are non-curable and non-treatable.  (+ info)
